Sorry - yesterday was my "work-from-home" day, and I didn't feel like 
posting one of these yesterday morning... So this will be a two-day 
catch-up.

As usual, I haven't watched anything since soaps. I'm starting to create 
another backlog of streaming shows to watch, but I don't really have the 
time to binge through them right now - I may try to start "School 
Spirits" this weekend... So soaps it is:

soaps: DOOL - Wed's & Thur's ep's. More fallout from Tate ratting out 
Doug III as the thief to Julie... Of course now Holly The Brat wants to 
dump Tate - her motive of wanting to dump Tate in order to boff Doug is 
transparent! - Holly is as bad as her mom!! When NuSophia hears the news 
from Doug that Holly may be dumping Tate, she virtually drools. (Really 
wish the old Sophia actress was still playing the role.) And Melinda 
Trask claims to have sold the stolen necklace to JJ (who should have 
arrested her!)... Meanwhile, after overhearing Philip and Stephanie 
talk, Xander is convinced they're having an affair - Sarah tries to talk 
Xander out of doing anything about it, but he confronts Philip and Alex 
overhears. Meanwhile, outrageously, Sarah wants Stephanie to play along 
with the idea to Alex - if Stephanie does, she's as dumb as a box of 
rocks, and for once deserves the romantic disaster that will befall her! 
Thur's ep instead ends with Stephanie seemingly ready to tell Alex the 
truth - that Philip is a fraud!
    GH - Wed's ep. Lulu and Brook Lynn continue to clash and Brook Lynn 
basically calls Lulu and EVOL! bitch! and later Lulu wonders to Cody if 
Brook Lynn is right about that (she is!!). As I predicted, dumb Kristina 
walked in before Ava could let Sonny righteously die from a heart 
attack, so Kristina orders Ava to leave and saves Sonny. Later, Ava 
tells Ric that something is seriously wrong (physically) with Sonny... 
The new city councilman character played by Daniel Cosgrove (he goes all 
the way back to BH, 90210!) continues to agitate against Laura and 
Jordan. Drew is outraged that Curtis seems to be working with Tracy 
against him.

I also put "Jupiter Ascending" on in the background yesterday - I had no 
idea that a young Vanessa Kirby was in this playing Mila Kunis' 
scantily-clad roommate. Nor that Eddie Redmayne was in this as the main 
villain... This is one movie that would definitely benefit from 4k, 
though I was watching it off an HBO cable channel, so no such luck.

What did you watch?
